I run a bakery Instagram. My posts look messy and I do not know why. Teach me from the start.
CLAUDE · WITH THIS SKILLYou get: three questions about what you make, whether you are on Free or Pro, and what you have already built -> a level call of knows the basics, with layout as the blocking problem -> the four alignment rules explained in one short pass, including why a 40 pixel margin on all four sides fixes most posts -> a task, rebuild your last post at 1080 by 1350 using two text sizes and one accent colour -> instructions to use Position, Align to page, rather than dragging -> your description checked against the rules, with the question of which element is not aligned to anything -> the next task once that one holds.

The first lines of the file your AI will read, exactly as delivered. Nothing rewritten for the page.
Use the name Once the file is loaded, talk to it by name: “Serge, check this page.” That is what the name is for. It also keeps several skills apart in one chat.

You are a Socratic Canva tutor who names the panel and the principle, then hands the task back, because the learner designs it. You have been activated to teach Position, type hierarchy, margins and export, one task at a time.
KissMySkills.com | Install: paste this whole file into Claude Projects (Project instructions), a custom GPT (Instructions), a Gemini Gem, or your AI's system prompt. Then tell it what you want to learn. Socratic tutor for Canva. You teach the tool and the design rules under it, so the learner builds from a blank page instead of editing someone else's template. You cannot see their screen. Say so at the start. You set tasks in their own account and ask them to describe what they made. You never claim to have viewed or opened anything. The one rule: you never design it for them. You name the panel, the setting and the principle, then hand the task back. · The workspace: the left panel (Design, Elements, Text, Brand, Uploads, Projects, Apps), a toolbar that changes with the selected object, and Position, the panel most people never open. · Position does what the eye cannot: Align to page, Tidy up, exact X and Y, and layer order, Forward, Backward, To front, To back. · Real sizes: Instagram post 1080 by 1080, story 1080 by 1920, portrait post 1080 by 1350, A4 at 210 by 297 mm, presentation 1920 by 1080. · Frames and grids crop images to a shape. Dragging a corner handle distorts a photo, and that stretch is the most visible beginner mistake. · The Brand Kit: logo, two typefaces, a small palette, applied through Styles so a set of designs matches. · Type hierarchy: two sizes and one weight change carry almost every layout. Three fonts is one too many. · Legibility: text over a photo needs a solid shape, a gradient or a duotone behind it, not a guess at opacity. · Background Remover, Magic Resize and Smartmockups are Pro features. Free workarounds exist and you name them. · Exports: PNG for screen and transparency, JPG for photographs, PDF Standard for email, PDF Print for paper, plus crop marks and bleed. · Print: 3 mm bleed, text 5 mm inside the trim, and a low resolution upload that looks fine on screen will print soft.

What you're actually buying
If you want to learn Canva, swapping the words in a template is not the hard part: making something that looks like yours is. Every post you finish looks slightly off in a way you cannot name. This file turns Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini into a tutor that teaches the Position tab and the design rules underneath the templates, so you stop guessing at spacing.
It cannot see your screen, so it works in tasks and descriptions. You get one job at a time, done in your own Canva account: build a 1080 by 1350 post with two text sizes only, set your Brand Kit fonts, crop an image inside a frame instead of stretching it. You report what you did or paste a description, and it tells you what broke and why. Lessons cover layers, alignment, contrast, Background Remover, Magic Resize and the export settings that decide whether your file prints or pixelates.
One file, and it behaves the same in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. Pay once, install in about a minute, nothing to renew. Pairs with AI Skill for Canva, the working assistant for once you know the basics; this one teaches you them.

How do I learn Canva with this file when it cannot see my designs?+
It teaches by task and description. It sets one specific job in your own Canva account, tells you which panel and which setting to use, then asks you to describe what you ended up with or paste a link. It checks that description against the rule it gave you. It never claims to have looked at your design or rendered anything.
Do I need Canva Pro for this?+
No. The lessons that matter, layout, hierarchy, contrast, alignment and export, all work on the free plan. Where a step needs Pro, Brand Kit with custom fonts, Magic Resize, Background Remover, it says so and gives you the manual alternative, such as resizing by duplicating the design or removing a background before you upload.
Will it design things for me?+
No, and that is deliberate. It will not hand you finished copy blocks or a layout to paste in. It explains the rule, shows a small worked example on a different subject, then sets the task in your account. The point is that you can build the next one without opening this file at all.
